Organosolv pulping of fungally pretreated samples of Pinus radiata was evaluated. A
screening study using five white‐rot fungi indicated that Ceriporiopsis subvermisopora and …

Pinus taeda wood chips were treated with the white‐rot fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora
in 20‐dm3 bioreactors for periods varying from 15 to 90 days. Decayed samples, non …

Eucalyptus grandis wood was ca. 80% delignified in 79–92%(vv− 1 formic acid containing
0.22%(wv− 1) HCl as a catalyst under reflux and mechanical stirring for 90 min. Pulps …

Formic acid pretreatment on Pinus radiata D. Don was studied in order to improve the
cellulose hydrolysis by commercial cellulase. The formic acid treatment effectively removed …

Pine wood chips were treated for 30 days with Cemporiopsis subvermispora in 20 dm3
bioreactors. A typical selective biodelignification was observed. The biotreated wood chips …

Biopulping is the fungal pretreatment of wood chips, designed as a solid-state fermentation
process, for production of mechanical or chemical pulps (cf. Chapters 10 and 12). The …

Biopulping, defined as the fungal pretreatment of wood chips and designed as a solid-state
fermentation process for production of mechanical or chemical pulps, is a promising …

Organosolv pulping mediated by formic acid was evaluated. Wood of Eucalyptus globulus
and Eucalyptus grandis was cooked with formic acid under different conditions of solvent …

Beech (Fagus sylvatica) wood samples were subjected to two-stage treatments following the
philosophy of the Milox process. By means of incomplete, second-order, factorial designs …

Wood extractives (resin) cause pitch deposition problems and effluent toxicity in pulp and
papermaking. The ability of six sapstaining fungi to degrade and detoxify extractive …
